A couple of weeks ago, I visited with hundreds of pastors on a recent international ministry trip. During my time with them, as well as other people we are serving, I was struck more deeply than ever, by the reality that ServeNow is providing something far greater than just literature, material or the meeting of physical needs. For the pastors and churches we serve, that Christian literature is food to their soul. For the people being served by the meeting of physical needs or through programs (such as warm winter coverings, food, clean water, mosquito nets, medicine, skill-training etc) it is seen as tangible expressions of God’s goodness and love. These “good deeds” and programs bring hope, one of the greatest human needs of all. They touch the heart in a permanent and life-transforming way, not just the body in a temporary, physical way. They open doors for the Good News to be shared and received. They result in church growth, spiritual growth and strengthening of pastors and their ministries.


The following bullet-point list are testimonies I heard from a group of about forty pastors at just ONE pastors meeting. We were releasing the next book in the Basic Series discipleship booklets, The Basic Things You Need to Know About the Church as well as giving out copies of the evangelistic comic book for teens, called The King from MediaServe. Not even all the pastors had a chance to share, but those who did share, I tried to jot down as many of their testimonies as I could. Looking at this list of testimonies from just this small group of pastors…the impact is astonishing!
- The Basic Things You Need to Know About Salvation has brought clarity to the youth of my church.
- Many in my fellowship have been overwhelmed by thinking of reading the Bible and stated it being hard to read, but these books have made it much more manageable for people!

- Thirteen families in my village came to know services are going on because of ServeNow.

- ServeNow is instrumental in facilitating these kinds of meetings for us pastors to get to know each and be inspired by each others’ testimonies. If it weren’t for ServeNow we wouldn’t know each other and have this kind of fellowship together.

- Many unbelievers are coming to the church now because of these books.
- Many hadn’t read the Bible before, but through these books they are gaining understanding and reading the Bible now!

***Would you prayerfully consider a generous and meaningful investment in the lives of these and other pastors, churches and people? It’s not hard to see that the smallest of gifts can even make the biggest of a difference! For example, a Basic Series book costs just $1 to get into the hands of one person. For these pastors, churches and people, they have nothing. They cannot afford or do not have access to Scripture, literature, training or humanitarian care we provide.
